Equity in Action: Insights from CTData Collaborative

Each month, the Equity in Data Community of Practice meets to talk about a topic that the group has indicated is of interest to their work. Through our survey results, we know that people are eager to hear from real professionals who are actively integrating equitable principles into their everyday data work.

At CTData, equity is in our mission. We're committed to intentionally collecting, analyzing, and sharing data without perpetuating bias or reinforcing stereotypes. During this session, CTData staff members share their real-world experiences, insights, and actionable strategies for weaving ethical considerations and equity into their everyday data work. Participants had the chance to talk together about what they are doing to integrate equity - to learn from one another and share lessons for the benefit of others.

During this session, we shared strategies and experiences, and explored other ways to bring equity to our data work.
